FAQs
Does Camp Augusta provide food services?
Yes and No. Depending on the time of year you are looking to book, we may have staff available to provide food service. Out food service staff do not normally work year round however many of them live locally and would love the opportunity to work with you on a menu of your choice provided it does not conflict with their year-round schedules. The cost to you would be the cost of food and hiring the staff, that’s it. Camp Augusta does not look to gain income from your arrangement. If this is of interest to you, please inquire.
